Overview

Now in its Third Edition, Criminal Procedures: The Police retains its comprehensive, student-friendly approach. This engaging treatment of criminal procedures depicts the enormous variety within criminal justice systems, placing a deliberate focus on the real-world context of the subject matter.

This casebook continues to offer a solid, comprehensive treatment of criminal procedures. With an accessible style it:

• surveys the constitutional, statutory, and administrative doctrines and practices that shape how the police interact with citizens and investigate crimes
• examines the procedures and policies of both federal and state systems , assumptions and judgments underlying each, and how these systems interrelate and sometimes compete with one another
• looks at sources of law and doctrine from multiple institutions, including U.S. Supreme Court cases, state high court cases, statutes, rules of procedure, and police and prosecutorial policies
• discusses the influence of politics within various institutions of law enforcement
• addresses the role of public pressure on policing and procedure with regard to terrorism, drug trafficking, domestic abuse, and the treatment of crime victims
• provides interdisciplinary materials that explore the impact of criminal procedures on law enforcers, lawyers, courts, communities, defendants, and victims
• examines issues of race and justice in criminal procedures

The authors introduce a variety of new information to the Third Edition:

• a selection of new state cases — all decided in 2000 or later — to keep the focus on current application of doctrine
• a strengthened emphasis on professional responsibility issues
• coverage of new U.S. Department of Justice policies on charging corporations
• discussions on the impact of "Global War on Terror" policies on wiretapping and searches in ordinary criminal prosecution
